Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Burchda RX80. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

7 reasons to buy

  • The RX80 comes with a headlight, taillight, fenders, a rear rack rated for 150lb, side mirrors, and a phone mount.
  • Owners get 30 to 45 miles of range in real-world testing.
  • The RX80 has an above-average payload capacity of 400lb.
  • Testers relish the RX80’s unrestricted top speed of 29-30mph using the throttle.
  • The angle-adjustable stem allows quick modifications to fit.
  • Buyers appreciate the responsive customer support.
  • The color display includes a USB-C port to charge devices on the go.

13 reasons not to buy

  • Testers complain of a two-second delay to both throttle and pedal assist activation.
  • Burchda markets this bike for off-road, but experts find the ride rough over light off-road terrain.
  • The hydraulic disc brakes and small 160mm rotors deliver weak stopping power.
  • Reviewers find it difficult to maneuver the RX80, citing a heavy front end and a wide turning radius due to the dual-crown fork.
  • Experts find the “cheap” tires loud and lacking in grip. One tester says the front tire bead popped off when inflating it above 20psi.
  • A 5’9” reviewer feels the claimed height range of 5’6” to 6’5” is exaggerated at the low end.
  • The saddle-mounted taillight is externally powered, lacks brake activation, and can be obstructed by cargo on the rear rack.
  • Testers and owners report issues like vibration from the motor and rattling fenders.
  • The throttle’s 29mph top speed exceeds the 20mph legal e-bike limit.
  • Owners and experts say the rear shock is stiff and does little to absorb bumps.
  • The low IPX4 water resistance means the RX80 shouldn't be ridden in heavy rain.
  • A tester and multiple owners complain of the gears jumping.
  • Buyers find the instruction manual severely lacking in detail.

Bottom line

The Burchda RX80 has a solid range and decent accessories for the price, but those are its only highlights. The list of cons is seemingly endless. Lagging power delivery, weak brakes, “lethargic” handling, underwhelming climbing ability, and low-quality tires are among the most notable drawbacks. Additionally, the rear suspension is stiff, and despite being marketed for off-road, the bike is uncomfortable over light off-road terrain. Problems like handlebar motor vibration and a tire bead popping off raise more doubts over build quality. With all these issues, experts recommend avoiding Burchda's RX80.
